The verdict

So today I told the thirteen-year-old about the whole New X-Men/Young X-Men thing. She doesn't want it.

I asked her what she wanted to get instead.

She said...wait for it (and remember that she doesn't follow the comic internet)...Spider-Man. That was unexpected (I figured she'd choose some other X-title, but I gather she not been impressed with what she's seen of Messiah Complex). We've never gotten it, but she's picked up an issue or two herself over the years, and of course he's in New Avengers these days, which we do get. Whether he's married or not seems to be immaterial to her.

She was certainly pleased to find out that it comes out several times a month!

Then the husband said to get Young X-Men as well. Might as well give it a shot. I think if he's hoping it's really anything like Young Avengers, he's likely to be disappointed.

From what I've read online about the post-One-More-Day Spidey, I think she'll enjoy it. I guess it's not a bad jumping-on point, at that.
